1973 Honda CB500K · Shock Absorbers Buying guide

Read the shock dimension and end fittings together

The chrome pair has five preload positions; the black pair has four and lists additional fitting pieces. Match length and mounts to the existing arrangement, then inspect joint rubbers, sleeves and retained mounting hardware independently.

Parts to consider

Honda CB Stock Design Shock Absorber Set ~ Chrome 321mm Chrome 321mm shock pairTwo chrome shocks with five-position preload and a listed 321mm upper-eye-to-clevis measurement. The application includes CB500K 1971–73; compare the fitted mounting arrangement.View part Honda CB Stock Length Shock Absorber Set ~ Black 335mm Black 335mm shock pairTwo all-black eye-to-clevis shocks, with four-position preload. The stated package includes bushings, inserts, washers and an adjustment wrench; its 335mm length differs from the chrome 321mm set.View part Honda CB Shock Absorber Joint Rubber Set/2 ~ Replaces 52484-292-000 Rear shock joint rubber pairTwo mounting-joint rubbers referencing 52484-292-000. These serve the shock joints and are different components from the eight rear-hub drive dampers.View part

Keep the two stated shock lengths distinct

The chrome stock-design listing gives 321mm and five-position preload. The black listing gives 335mm and four positions. Both are offered for the CB500K, but they are not the same measured length. Check the motorcycle’s existing mounting geometry instead of treating broad stock-length wording as proof that either pair preserves it.

Verify fitting contents without assuming every mount piece

The black shock package names bushings, inserts, washers and a preload wrench. The separate joint rubber pair and replica nut have their own references. Inspect the mounting hardware before adding replacements; an installation-parts list does not establish that every separately named mount component comes with a shock pair.

Questions before choosing

What should I compare between the 321mm and 335mm pairs?

The covered chrome pair is 321mm upper-eye center to clevis with five preload positions. The black pair is 335mm eye-to-clevis with four positions and included fitting hardware; compare the installed length and mounting arrangement before choosing.

Can an eye-to-eye shorty set replace a clevis-mounted pair?

The universal 290mm shorty has eye-to-eye mounts, unlike the listed eye-to-clevis CB500K pairs. It is a custom choice requiring its own dimensional and clearance checks, rather than the same original-mount replacement in a shorter length.

What quantities cover the separately listed shock mounting pieces?

The 52484-292-000 joint rubber set contains two, for the corresponding left and right mounts. The 90309-315-000 nut supplies one per order, with two required when renewing the corresponding retaining nuts on both rear shocks.
